The Brisbane Drink Driving Lawyer team achieved a wonderful outcome for our client at Ipswich Magistrates Court recently.
Our client was charged with Low Range Drink Driving after having blown a reading of 0.092.
This was our client's first Drink Driving charge.
Our client was eligible to apply for a DUI Drink Driving Work Licence.
As they needed their licence to maintain their employment, we were instructed to make that application.
Our client faced a maximum licence disqualification of 9 months.
The mandatory minimum licence disqualification is 1 month.
A DUI Drink Driving Work Licence, if granted, permits a person to continue driving during their licence disqualification for work purposes only.
We prepared detailed affidavit materials in support of our client's Work Licence application.
We made strong verbal submissions to the Magistrate.
We were successful in persuading the Magistrate to grant the work licence for a period of 1 month.
Our client had concerns that the recording of a conviction would impact their employment, we therefore made lengthy submissions and were ultimately successful in persuading the Magistrate not to record a conviction.
If our client had of represented themselves, and the work licence application failed, they would have been sentenced to a period of licence disqualification immediately.
Thankfully, our client engaged high class representation to ensure this did not occur.
Our client was extremely happy with the outcome.
